| There was a time, I used to wish I was older
|
| So I can look over my own shoulder
|
| When it came time for partyin
|
| I always had to check with a guardian
|
| You know, mom and dad
|
| Sometimes I think about the fun I could’ve had
|
| Swingin with my crew
|
| I used to boo-hoo about my early curfew
|
| If I didn’t show up, I’d be on punishment
|
| Guess where the rest of my week will be spent
|
| Yeah, in the house, lookin like a jerk
|
| My boys are havin fun while I’m doin housework
|
| I remember one time in the game
|
| I could hear my mom callin my name
|
| I had two strikes, workin on the third
|
| Somebody yelled out, «Yo, Qu’ran’s a early bird!»
|
| But I ain’t pay it no mind
|
| Cause back then a hard head made a soft behind
|
| My mother always said, «Don't worry 'bout a cup
|
| It’s all a part of growin up»
|
| But nevertheless
|
| Like they say — mom knows best
|
| This is a little somethin for the youngsta’s
|
| (Listen up youngster)
